Paula,The new mapping function uses the Microsoft Virtual Earth Web-based mapping application. It is not related to the Geo Location Database.
There are two ways to use mapping.a. For your Master location List you can view a map of the location (and a list of the people who use each location) by going to View > Master Lists > Locations.
b. When you have selected a person in the Index, Family, Descendant or pedigree views if you click on the mapping icon in the top tool bar you can generate a map with all the locations related to that person marked.
The help file and the built in help are a good resource.

You all have piqued my interest in "mapping"! Can someone please tell me the best place to look to learn about this "mapping" capability? And is it related to the "geo location database"? I would also appreciate any significant pros & cons you might be willing to share.

Then I select a specific cemetery, click on the Show List button and then click on the Print button. Then when I go to the cemetery to take photographs, I have the list of everyone I need to find. If I want several cemeteries, I can tag them and print those tagged lists.Also, once I've placed a cemetery into the BurialList, I can call it up from the Address List and I don't have to recreate the name and address over and over again. I can also add the cemetery's phone number, GPS coordinates, web address and additional information in the cemetery's notes fields (i.e., directions on getting there or notes on how old the cemetery is.)I realize that different people have different styles,but I was curious as to why you would prefer placing cemetery names into a location field and getting reports that way as opposed to using the cemetery burial address field which allows for so much more.Just curious.
